WHAT IS A MICROSOFT EXCEL?
Formatting Cells
The most formatting options are found on the Home Tab. All the options can be found in
the Format Cells window.This contains several tabs to help us format the contents of our
spreadsheet. This window can be opened by using the More Options button at the end of the
Format, Alignment and Number groups.

Inserting
The Insert tab make new cells, columns, and rows. Excel determines what you are
trying to insert based on your selection. If a full column is selected, Excel will
assume you mean a full column and it will skip the Insert window.
You can insert a cell, row, or column by doing one of the following:
from the Home tab, in the Cells group, choose Insert or open the Right -
click menu and choose insert.
To insert multiple at once, select the number of cells/rows/columns you would like to insert and
follow the steps above. The size and format of the new space is determined by
the previous row or column.This will push the existing cells, columns, or rows to
the right or down to make room for the new cells.
Fill Handle
The Fill Handle is in the bottom right corner of the selected cell. When you place your mouse
over this handle, it changes from a thick white cross, to a thin black cross. Once you see the
thin cross (no arrows) you can click and drag the cell to fill its contents in a single direction
(up, down, left or right). If you want to go in two directions, you must first complete one way, let
go of the mouse and then drag the handle in the second direction.
When you use the Fill Handle to pull down a single number or plain text, it will copy the data.
When you use the Fill Handle to pull down a text with numbers, a date, a month
or a weekday it will fill in a series.
Cells are labeled by their row and column headings. Rows are numbered and go horizontally
across (rows of chairs) and columns are lettered and go vertically top to bottom
(columns of a building). When we refer to the address of a cell, we use the column
letter then the row number such as A1.
So here it is
• Click in the cell where the answer will appear
• Press the Equal sign (=)
• Type in the cell address you want to use in your equation
• Accept the answer or press the next math operator (+, ‐, *, /, ^)
The mouse and arrow keys are both "pointers". If you press the equal sign and then use the
mouse to click on another cell, Excel will put you into a "POINT" mode, and place the address of
the cell you clicked on in your equation.
• Click in the cell where the answer will appear
• Press the Equal sign (=)
• Use the mouse to click on the cell you want to use in your equation
• Accept the answer or press the next math operator (+, ‐, *, /, ^)
Mathematical Operations
To let Excel know you expect it to "do math" you need start your cell with an equal sign (=).
Addition, plus sign (+) = 5+2 result 7
Subtraction, hyphen (‐) = 5‐2 result 3
Multiplication, asterisk (*) = 5*2 result 10
Division, slash (/) = 5/2 result 2.5
Exponent/Power, caret (^) = 5^2 result 25
AutoSum
AutoSum can build equations to do math on a large number of cells, but there are functions
built into Excel that can help us automate the most common ones: Sum, Average,
Count, Maximum, and Minimum. On the far right of the Home tab you'll find the sigma (∑).
When you click on the word AutoSum, you'll get a sum function. There is a dropdown list
at the end of the button that will show more function options. The AutoSum button looks for
numbers above or to the left of the cell to choose the range (the set) of numbers. Make sure to
press enter or click the check to accept as soon as the function shows up.

Math
Total for each line item will be the Price times the Quantity.
1) Go to Cell D2
2) From the keyboard Type: =
3) With the mouse click on Cell B2 ($10.00)
Cell D2 should now have =B2
4) From the keyboard type: *
5) With the mouse click on Cell C2 (5)
Cell D2 should now have =B2*C2
Grand Total
1) Move to Cell D5
2) From the Home tab click on the AutoSum ∑
=SUM(D2:D4)
3) Press Enter or click the check to accept
